Happy New Year!!!!!
It's nearly signing off time here in Doha, and as I won't get the opportunity before I want to wish you all a happy new year!

I can't believe it's been exactly 1 year since I met most of you at PMT's party - and a fantastic year it has been too. I feel honoured to have been accepted in to the (e:strip) group, even if it's by association only!

Sorry we can't be there this time round, but I'm sure there will be opportunities in the future.

Here's hoping 2010 brings health and happiness to you and yours.

See you next year!

Good wishes for 2010, good sir, although you'd be hard pressed to top 09

Stress!
Category: work
I'm coming to the rapid conclusion that taking any time off from work is pointless.

The amount of stress you end up in before going - to ensure everything is in a condition to hand over, and when you get back - catching up on all those emails, pretty much nulls any de-stressing you got while on leave.

I have 30 mins before I leave the office to take 2 1/2 weeks off (which will be wonderful and full of memories that will stay with me forever); and I have about 4 hours worth of work to do in that time.

GAAAAHH!!!!!!
metalpeter - 10/21/09 19:37
I'm not in charge of anything, and I don't have a work e-mail so it is tough to get what you are saying, but I do get it in a way. Where I work we have orders to do so when ever we have a holiday off we then need to get that same amount of work done with one less day.
paul - 10/21/09 10:07
Two.5 weeks. That is an eternity in computer time, I can feel your stress for you. Then again I am a stresser. Other people I work with seem to barely stress at all.
jason - 10/21/09 08:54
One thing about work - it will always be there. Enjoy your time off.

Were they an influential family in Buffalo?
metalpeter - 09/09/09 18:42
That Made it to the BBC, WOW, I heard someone saw it on CNN and that shocked me, but the BBC that is more shocking.
joshua - 09/09/09 11:25
Wow - news reaches far and wide these days indeed. I know I shouldn't marvel at it but I always do.
